Ion-exchange resin catalysts in the liquid-phase hydrazinolysis of cinnamic acid

详细

The catalytic activity of a synthetic ion-exchange resins has been studied in the reaction of cinnamic acid with hydrazine (aqueous medium, 363 K, 1.0–2.5 h) yielding the corresponding hydrazide. Efficient catalysts for the process are the anion-exchange resins AV-17-8 and AN-31. The modifying effect of the substrate—hydrazine hydrate—on the catalytic properties of the ion-exchange systems has been demonstrated. On the basis of IR spectroscopic studies, a plausible process mechanism was suggested. It involves polymer-bound quaternary ammonium ions of the anion exchanger.
